Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 671
Chapter 671 Forward Or Turn
Everyone will encounter many crossroads in their lives. When faced with choices, you must make your own decisions.
‘”The system is doing this to make me and the NPC the same. The NPC must have come to the last few dozen meters. It must be a’heavenly chasm’ that doesn’t seem to be able to move forward, right? But the choice they face is either to risk death or give up the halo and turn around. That guy Dick must have chosen to turn around in fear of death, but … what should I do?”
Xu You squatted in front of the light net. He hugged his head and mumbled to himself. From this, one could see the hesitation and struggle in Xu You’s heart. He clearly knew that there might be an illusion in front of him. Everything could be fake, but he could not make up his mind to move forward. This was because it was a huge bet. If he won, he could win everything. However, once he lost the bet, the consequences could not be simply described as “unimaginable.”
If he chose to gamble and win, he wouldn’t lose what he had. He would also learn the Super Aura. But if he lost, not only would he not get the Aura, he would also be deleted. If he chose not to gamble, there would be no saying that he would win or lose, nor would there be any gains or losses.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, there was no need to think about this at all. Just go straight ahead. The illusion must be fake. Otherwise, how could there be a senior who successfully passed the test in front of him?
Even if it wasn’t fake, those seniors had passed the test by other means. At worst, deleting the number and retraining would result in far less serious consequences than NPC. If NPC chose wrongly, the consequences would be to lose precious lives. However, the players weren’t. If they won the bet, the rewards would far outweigh the costs.
But when you’re in a situation where you’re actually facing a choice like this, It would be as difficult as Xu You, Of course, he knew what he would get if he won the bet. That halo had the effect of changing fate against the heavens, but the consequences of losing the bet were also very serious. Everything that Xu You had now was not easy to obtain, and it was obtained through a long struggle and hard work. If he lost all of this because of a gamble, wouldn’t it be too unworthwhile?
It’s like struggling for half your life and finally having a stable, calm and happy life. Suddenly, God sent an emissary to ask you if you were willing to roll the dice. If you were willing, there would be two results. One was to roll red points “one” and “four”. The result would be to lose your current life and become a beggar.
The other is to throw the other four black points and get 100 million Chinese dollars. This 100 million can change your life, so what will you choose?
Note that the chances of obtaining 100 million are a little higher, but do you dare to bet on that 60% chance? After all, there was still a 40% chance of losing everything.
Of course, there were different opinions on such a choice. According to the gambler’s mentality, there would definitely be people who were willing to gamble. The 60% chance was too high, but there must also be people who chose to give up gambling. Most people would cherish the life they had earned after struggling for half their lives, right?
The most important question was, what would Xu You choose?
“If I choose to turn around, Big Brother and Wuhen will definitely not blame me, right?” Xu You slowly stood up and murmured. His words to himself had already exposed his choice. Yes, Xu You did not plan to move forward, but chose to turn around and give up.
At this moment, Xu You finally understood why Dick and Moke had failed. He also understood the strange and melancholy expressions on their faces when they told him about this mission.
It was because this test was indeed very difficult, but the hardest part was not the mechanism trap of the previous 400 meters. After experiencing life and death struggles, even if he died, there was no regret. However, the final 45 meters was a gambling choice. It was a choice between gain and loss. This was the hardest part!
How many people in the world could gamble on their most precious possessions as a bet? At the very least, they couldn’t even do it for Dick and Moke. Xu You didn’t need to feel ashamed of this, but regret was certain.
“I’ve worked so hard for so many days. I didn’t expect this to be the result.” Xu You sighed and tidied up his mood. He could bear it and let it go. He was the real man. However, just as Xu You was about to turn around and face the entrance of the passageway, he heard Bingying’s voice again. “Have you given up?”
“Who!?” Xu You frowned and shouted angrily, but he was thinking in his heart, “Wasn’t the voice just now heard wrongly?” But where did the voice come from? In this scenario, there was no communication.
“Have you given up?” The voice came again, but this time it was Xue Wuhen’s voice. Xu You was stunned and finally knew who made the voice!
“Soul of Knight? Are you talking to me?” Xu You hurriedly asked.
That’s right. Xu You guessed that Soul of Knight was talking to him. However, this Soul of Knight wasn’t the Level 70 monster he had killed in the portal not long ago. Instead, he had snatched away the faceless ghost that Zhao Chen had fought with Xu You in the Land of the Dragons. In the end, Xu You had won the battle, and the ghost had entered Xu You’s body. And this Soul of Knight was the real Soul of Knight.
Nowadays, apart from Soul of Knight, it was impossible for anyone else to talk to Xu You, and imitating the voices of Bingying and Xue Wuhen was also a damn characteristic of Soul of Knight.
“I’m not Soul of Knight, I’m your big brother. Let me ask you, are you going to give up this test?” This time, Soul of Knight’s voice turned into Wei Mingyuan’s.
“Chi, why are you asking me this? Don’t think that you can interfere with my decision just by pretending to be my woman and brother’s voice.” Xu You said disdainfully.
“Since that’s the case, you can see it clearly.” Soul of Knight pretended to be Wei Mingyuan’s voice and said, Xu You felt something suddenly appear in his body. In the blink of an eye, a living Wei Mingyuan appeared one meter in front of Xu You’s left.
This frightened Xu You so much that he took two steps back. Fortunately, Xu You didn’t turn around in shock, otherwise the test would be over.
The reason why Xu You was shocked was because Soul of Knight had actually simulated Wei Mingyuan without the goal of “seizing the house”. This was something Xu You had never expected.
After “Wei Mingyuan” came out, he asked Xu You again with a serious face, “Now you can answer my question? Do you still recognize me as a big brother?”
The moment Wei Mingyuan spoke, Xu You really thought that the boss had arrived in front of him. However, he quickly reacted. The person in front of him was not really Wei Mingyuan, but Soul of Knight. However, this also gave Xu You some psychological hints. Xu You was finally willing to answer Soul of Knight’s question and said, “Obviously, I don’t intend to move forward.”
“Why? You clearly know that there is a possibility of an illusion ahead. Why don’t you have the courage to gamble?” Wei Mingyuan asked with a straight face.
“Simply put, you’re not me. How do you understand my feelings?” Xu You sneered and replied.
“You don’t understand? No, I do. You’re afraid that after gambling fails, you’ll be deleted and lose what you have now. Even women like us will leave you one by one, right?” Soul of Knight shook his body and turned back into Xue Wuhen, and said to Xu You in Xue Wuhen’s tone.
Xu You was speechless after being questioned by Xue Wuhen. He did have such worries, but not all of them. However, Xue Wuhen changed into Bingying again and said coldly, “You have such thoughts because you don’t trust us in your heart. Do you think we are women who can only live with you and not share your troubles?”
“I’m too disappointed in you, Brother Wuyou.” This time, it was Qingwu. Next, the Dawn Sisters, Mu Yurou, Zhang Ping, Uncle Unyielding, Babyworld, and the others “appeared” and ran out to scold Xu You one by one.
Xu You clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his forehead were all visible. He lowered his head and remained silent until Soul of Knight pulled Zhang Meisha out as well. He said to Xu You with a look of disdain, “I really misjudged you. I thought you were a man who could help me advance my career. Now, it seems that I might as well bend over and beg those men with big bellies in the head office!”
At this point, Xu You finally couldn’t bear it any longer and roared with a ferocious expression, “Enough!!! Shut up!”
But Soul of Knight did not shut up. Instead, he changed into another person and said in an indifferent and contemptuous tone, “Do you only lose your temper with women?”
“What, what?” Xu You looked at the blood-colored rose in disbelief, his entire body trembling with anger.
“Do you know why I’m disappointed in you? Because of your cowardice, if you had enough courage, many things wouldn’t have happened.”
“…”
“What? There’s nothing else to say? If you have the courage to move forward, perhaps I’ll look at you differently.” Blood Rose cut her beautiful hair and said softly. This action was very charming, coupled with the smile on her lips, it looked very attractive.
But when Xu You heard this, he suddenly laughed and helplessly said, “Soul of Knight, I finally believe that you are a woman. When you pretend to be a woman, you will speak more like her. As for pretending to be my brother and uncle, they are just a little bit lacking. However, you pretend to be like her and not like her spirit. You don’t know that Rose can’t say those words to me.”
“Then have you made your decision?” Soul of Knight finally stopped “role-playing” and returned to the appearance of a faceless ghost. However, his voice still imitated others. However, it wasn’t any of Xu You’s teammates, but Xu You himself.
Faced with the question of “oneself”, Xu You smiled gently, “I have already made my decision.”
Hearing this, Soul of Knight was silent for a while before he said, “Then I’ll wait and see.” After saying that, he drilled back into Xu You’s body.
Seeing this, Xu You didn’t care if Soul of Knight could hear him or not. He smiled and said, “Didn’t you just want me to move forward after all the things you’ve done? But you didn’t directly tell me if it was an illusion. With your experience, you must be able to tell, right? If you told me …”
“It’s not an illusion.” Soul of Knight’s voice suddenly came out and interrupted Xu You. However, this sentence made Xu You sound so painful.
However, Xu You suddenly took a step forward with Eggy’s pain and walked towards the “light net”. However, the moment Xu You touched the light net, the system prompt that Xu You feared the most sounded in his ears.
“Ding …”
